The coolest thing about star citizen is that it validates the processes of companies like EA and Ubisoft when they crack down on over promised features and force devs to meet deadlines. yes, some times that's going to result in a bad product but that product was never going to be good and would have kept sucking resources forever at which point you'd end up killing it anyways. better to shut it down now and ship it than drag it out.

speaking of walmarts closing, i wonder how many of those walmarts were built with public assistance and tax breaks, on the promise that the new store would economically revitalize the area and bring in new tax revenue.

there are plenty of kickstarter projects that have worked out fine, but they have that same project discipline, just at a smaller level.

yeah that's another one. where people have a product and a plan but no way to gauge customer interest so they do a kickstarter for an amount that's enough to deliver for each customer while breaking even or better. Its kind of like group buys but for a product that doesn't exist

I'll play games about throwing fireballs at things or flying through space or whatever because I can't actually do that poo poo. Play a video game about growing flowers or something? Nah. Considering most people under 25 now will never own their own home, I'm waiting for the House Hunters MMORPG
